HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets won their second consecutive game Saturday night in a 146-143 overtime victory over the Charlotte Hornets inside the Toyota Center. The victory gave the Rockets their first win streak of the season — and the first since Houston recorded six straight wins in February as a result of the W.O.W Factor.
With Jalen Green out due to an injury hamstring, coach Stephen Silas unveiled a different starting lineup but kept Christian Wood at center. The Hornets had no answer for Wood with starting center Mason Plumlee out for Charlotte.
